If you haven't noticed, we at Wildlife Art Journal support grassroots conservation, as well as grassroots Democracy and almost everything else that connects local people directly to the land around them.

Kerry Kriger, a biologist who founded Save The Frogs! (savethefrogs.com ) is a friend of ours.  He wants your help in judging the first annual Save The Frogs art contest.  We suggest that you have your loved ones or friends join you behind the screen as you, together, play the role of art competition juror. 

It doesn't matter where you are in the world.  Kriger invites you to be part of the selection process and learn about what you can do to promote amphibian conservation in your own backyard. Visit the site and cast your vote but act soon.  The contest ends October 12, 2009.
